Fragrant and refined, this radiant wine opens with scents of violet, red berry, baking spice and a whiff of plum. The chiseled palate delivers succulent wild cherry, white pepper, cinnamon and star anise alongside firm, refined tannins. It boasts a long licorice finish while bright acidity lends balance. It's already delicious but hold for even more complexity. Drink 2020–2033.

Tight and super silky with a gorgeous density and precision that gives great polish to the tannins. Makes them almost dusty. Lots of subtle dark berry, mineral and spice. Drink or hold.

Product Description:

"Castello di Ama is located in Gaiole, in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico appellation. Ama lies towards the southern edge of Chianti Classico, where the wines are often quite rich and bold, but here high altitude vineyards yield reds endowed with striking finesse and delineation that have also proven to age spectacularly well. Pallanti and his wife, Lorenza Sebasti, are among the growers that led the early days of Chianti Classico’s modern-day quality renaissance." -Antonio Galloni "Chianti Classico San Lorenzo takes its name from the lovely valley that is home to the 18th-century Pianigiani and Ricucci villas. The wine is made entirely with grapes from Castello di Ama vineyards, which are all old plantings or plots planted over a decade ago, and which show the most mature, rounded extracts at time of harvest. The Gran Selezione label was a significant step for the Chianti Classico designation, representing the top of the quality pyramid. Wines in this category are a guarantee for the consumer, in terms of origin and of quality. The production protocol states that all grapes must be produced by the winery itself and the wine goes on sale 30 months from harvest." -Winery
